Even when he is not playing, AJ Brown still manages to cause controversy.
The Eagles are without several key players as they host the New York Giants in Week 8 at the Linc.
Aside from Brown, Cam Jurgens, Adoree’ Jackson, and Azeez Ojulari were all ruled out on Friday’s injury report. Without Brown, the Eagles’ five receivers for this game are DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, John Metchie, Xavier Gipson, and Darius Cooper.
Instead of trying to be a good teammate and avoid distractions, Brown’s actions online have once again caused trade rumors to surface.
AJ Brown, who missed a ton of practice due to a hamstring injury, took to X, formerly Twitter, and suddenly decided to delete all posts regarding Jalen Hurts.
It was just last week when a hot mic caught AJ Brown’s wild, vulgar message to Jalen Hurts after he scored an incredible touchdown against the Vikings.
“This when you throw me the fkin’ ball! WTF is that?! Just throw the f–kin’ ball!” Brown could be heard saying.
Will AJ Brown Be Traded?
The conversation around A.J. Brown continues for yet another week.
With the deadline approaching and Week 8 sidelining him, all eyes are on how the Eagles’ front office will deal with him.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie gave the most precise public guidance yet on how the franchise views any hypothetical trade from its No. 1 receiver.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini noted the exchange, saying, “I asked Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie what he would do if Brown knocked on his door and asked for a trade. His answer was firm, team-first, and championship-minded.”
The Philadelphia Eagles are not expected to trade star wide receiver AJ Brown before the NFL’s Nov. 4 deadline, ESPN further added.
Philadelphia enters Week 8 at 5-2, firmly in the NFC East race.
